(Little Bo Peep enters and sees Horse.)
Little Bo Peep:Excuse me, have you seen my sheep?
(Little Bo Peep and Horse exit. Wicked Stepmother enters with Magic Mirror.)
Wicked Stepmother:I'm the wicked fairy stepmother, and I'm the fairest one of all. I'll prove it to you.
(Clears throat.)
Mirror, mirror on the wall,Who's the fairest one of all?Is it Snow White? It can't be she! Snow White is not as fair as me!
Magic Mirror:You're right, oh wicked fairy stepmother. Snow White isn't pretty at all.
Wicked Stepmother:There you see!
Magic Mirror:However, wicked fairy stepmother, I'm afraid there is one prettier than you.
Wicked Stepmother:(Aghast.)
Magic Mirror:Why, Cinderella, of course. She's on her way to the ball.
Wicked Stepmother:Oh no! So am I! I must stop her! What shall I do? I know! I'll lock her in the tower! Cinderella!
(Runs off stage calling.)
Cinderella! Cinderella!
(Little Bo Peep enters and crosses, calling.)
Little Bo Peep:Oh, sheepies! Sheep, sheep, sheep!
(Wicked Stepmother returns, pulling Cinderella by the hand, pushes her into the tower and locks the door.)
Wicked Stepmother:There, now you're locked in. Good-bye! I'm off to the ball!
(Exits stage.)
Cinderella:(From tower.)
Oh boo, hoo, hoo! I want to go to the ball! Boo, hoo, hoo! Wait! What's that noise?
(Rumplestiltskin enters, acting like he's riding a horse, with Horse behind, making sound of clopping hooves.)
Hark! A handsome young prince coming to rescue me? Oh hooray! I'll get to go to the ball after all!
Rumplestiltskin:Cinderella, Cinderella, let down your hair, and I will rescue you if you can guess my name!
Cinderella:(Throws down hair. Rumplestiltskin begins climbing up.)
But sir, I cannot guess your name.
Cinderella:Is it Bob?
Cinderella:Is it Larry? Ed?
Rumplestiltskin:No, and no.
Cinderella:(Thinks a moment.)
I know, I know! It's Egbert!
Rumplestiltskin:Uh...no. Well, if you can't guess, I'll be going now.
(As Rumplestiltskin begins to climb down.)
Come back! Oh boo, hoo, hoo!
(Rumplestiltskin exits, pretending to ride his horse, with Horse behind him, making clopping noises.)
Cinderella:I want to go to the ball! Now who's this?
(The Frog Prince enters.)
Frog Prince:Hi! I'm the Frog Prince. I'm here to rescue your golden ball.
Cinderella:I don't have a ball, but I'd sure like to go to one!
Frog Prince:(Baffled.)
Cinderella:Never mind. I think you're in the wrong story.
Frog Prince:That would explain it.
Cinderella:Will you help me? Will you find out the prince's name for me?
Frog Prince:Okay. I'll be back. Good-bye.

(Starts hopping back to tower. Wicked Stepmother enters.)
Wicked Stepmother::(Walking along.)

(Sees Frog Prince.)
What's this? A frog prince?
(Laughs to herself.)
Now I'll have a partner for the ball!
(To Frog Prince.)
Come to me, dearie, and I'll give you a great big kiss! Mmmm...
(Picks up Frog Prince and lifts him to her lips, starts puckering up to kiss him.)
Frog Prince:Madam, do you know what you're doing? Kisses don't work if you're in the wrong story.
Wicked Stepmother:(Ignoring him.)

That's it?
Frog Prince:Yup. Now I've got to be going...gotta find the right story.
Cinderella:Well thank you!
Frog Prince:You're welcome, and good-bye!
(Frog Prince hops away and exits.)
Cinderella:Well, now all I have to do is wait for Pickle-pig-skin to come back -- that is his name, isn't it? I hope he won't be long.
Oh, where can he be?
(Another pause; Cinderella drums her fingers impatiently.)
He must have missed his cue. Princey-poo!
(Cinderella sighs and drops her chin into her hand. Sound of horse's hooves. Cinderella raises her head and Rumplestiltskin comes into view.)
Rumplestiltskin:Have you guessed my name yet?
Cinderella:Yes. It's Rickle-pig-skin. No, no wait. I had it before ... it's Tuckle-ril-pin ... no ... it's, it's ... Oh bother, I can't remember! Oh won't you please just tell me?
(Sniffs and wipes her eyes.)
Well, I guess so. It's Pimple-til-rin ... er, Simple-ril-tin ...er... Oh dash it all! Call me Jack. Come on.
(Helps her out of the window, and down to the ground.)
Let's go to the ball.

[[!img Microsoft Fingerprint Scanner]
uru4000 driver supports devices based on the DigitalPersona U.are.U 4000/4000B/4500 chipsets.
uru4000 is part of libfprint and is developed/maintained by Daniel Drake and Timo Teräs.
Supported devices
This driver supports the fingerprint scanners found in Microsoft products. Additionally, it supports the standalone and "module" UrU4000/4000B devices that you can get from ?DigitalPersona, however these are hard to get hold of and are generally only privately sold to companies.
The Microsoft devices are identical to the "official" ones, but ?DigitalPersona lock down their proprietary SDKs on a software level to only work with the ?DigitalPersona devices (i.e. you must pay extra and buy direct for the luxury of using SDKs). The uru4000 driver supports both devices equally.
The drivers supplied by Microsoft for the Microsoft devices are only available for 32-bit Windows. fprint and uru4000 work on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Ironically, thanks to fprint, Linux is the only 64-bit OS that supports the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader products (Windows x64 users are out of luck).
While this driver is believed to support the original ?DigitalPersona UareU 4000 device that was in circulation several years ago (the 4000B predecessor), my own device is semi-broken so I'm not able to say that it works for sure.
In mid-2007, Microsoft released a new revision of their fingerprint reader (USB ID 0453:00ca). This new revision includes some increased security where the device challenges the authenticity of the driver. Using the chinese wall method, we have successfully reverse engineered these new security measures for interoperability with the new devices. As a result, these devices are supported in libfprint from v0.0.5 onwards.
Driver history
Daniel Drake reverse engineered the device protocol and formed the libdpfp project. uru4000 is based on code from libdpfp, and libdpfp has been obsoleted by libfprint as a result.
Timo Teräs reverse engineered the encryption cipher and implemented uru4500 support.
Device operation
These devices are imaging devices: they simply present images of the user's fingerprint to the host computer. The hardware makes no attempt to enhance, process, or compare fingerprint images.
It is up to the software to process the images and implement fingerprint matching/verification. libfprint handles this internally.
The devices are capable of detecting when a finger has been placed on or removed from the sensor, and can also be asked to capture images at any time.
The device is driven in a mode-based way: there are modes such as "wait for finger", "wait for finger removal", and "capture continuously". Capturing a fingerprint is therefore approximated to: set "wait for finger" mode, wait for interrupt, set "capture continuously" mode, wait for image, set "wait for finger removal" mode, ...
The device protocol is mostly understood, but there are still some unknowns. The auxiliary image capture is not fully understood at this time.
Security notes
Fingerprint images are encrypted over the USB bus. The encryption scheme is not strong, so it is possible to decrypt the image from USB traces. All control messages are unencrypted.
In 2006, Mikko Kiviharju wrote a paper about the security of these devices and presented it at Black Hat Europe 2006. His slides and research paper are available for download.
Imaging performance
uru4000 seems to perform very well with libfprint's image processing code. When scanning my index finger 5 times, each scan yielded a healthy count of 43.6 minutiae on average.
Against an enrolled print of 49 minutiae, scanning the same finger again a further 3 times results in a bozorth match scores of 118, 145, and 145. Anything above 40 represents a match. Scanning the other fingers on the same hand yields scores of 8, 6, 6, and 16.
Other capabilities
The Microsoft devices have an oval shape red light panel around the sensor (separate from the bright red scanning lights that illuminate your finger). The brightness of this can be set by the driver, for scan feedback and interesting visual effects. This feature is not present on ?DigitalPersona's own packaging of the device. libfprint currently does not support this feature.
The devices have an alternative fingerprint illumination mode, much dimmer with light solely originating from the CCD area, and it only captures a small portion of the fingerprint. The Microsoft/DigitalPersona drivers capture an image in this mode immediately after every scan, this is why you see the device 'blink' when scanning your finger using their drivers. The purpose of this mode is not entirely understood. uru4000 currently does not support this feature.
[[!img Default illumination] [[!img Alternative illumination]
Image info and optical behaviour
In the default illumination mode, the scanner sends a 384x289 image separated into 2 USB transactions (prepended by a 64 byte header). Each pixel is represented as 1 byte, so rendering it as standard greyscale data yields the following:
[[!img http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/img/Uru4000_raw_scan.jpg]
Some points to note:
- You can see some of the scanner internals (or a reflection of them) in the top right of the image
- The raw image quality is impressive - the fingerprint ridges are shown in bright white on a near-black background.
- There are two vertical columns of black at the very left and very right of the image. These were a big help in figuring out the image format and dimensions.
- The sensor is one of the larger ones I have seen, and you can see it captures a big region of my finger. However, the image is upside down, back to front, and we generally deal with images of negated colours, here's the same image flipped around and with the colours inverted:
[[!img http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/img/Uru4000_flipped_negated.jpg]
During earlier development, several people commented that the Windows API's and whatnot produce larger images which show more of the finger. This isn't entirely correct - the optical characteristics of the device result in your finger being distorted in the raw images, so the software simply stretches the image so that it has the correct proportions. uru4000 doesn't currently do this, but will integrate Paulo Marques' anti-distortion code at some point in the future.
The image is also distorted in that there is a reflection of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-coupled_device CCD] itself in the underside of the glass, resulting in a white square towards the center of each scan. This can easily be seen in a raw scan where no finger is present:

text: I don't really know what to say about this bad boy. Prepare to have your head turn upside down and your morals flipped inside out. Mimes On Rollercoasters has something to offer everyone in its own unique way. While one person may find deep spiritual enlightenment after meditating upon the track "The Brighter Side" others may find themselves waking up in the nude sprawled on the floor covered in confetti upon listening to the album's centerpiece "On The Thin Edge of Insanity". Not much is known about mastermind Mark Ruester and what is out there is shrouded in mystery and politics. Are these mimes here to save us from this meaningless void that we've created for ourselves in this strange internet-facilitated introverted world, or do they have an ulterior motive? Is it possible that Marcel and Mimi have attained an enlightenment that's beyond what speech can convey. What have they learned from living in a world where monochrome, stripes, and the occasional beret are all that matter? Things to ponder.

Barack Obama: Goodbye, Grandma!
President-elect Barack Obama and his half-sister Maya attend a memorial service for their grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, on Tuesday at at the First Unitarian Church in Honolulu in Oahu, Hawaii.
Obama, Maya and long-time family friend Bobby Titcomb were seen scattering flower petals and his grandmother's ashes in the sea at Lanai Lookout.
Madelyn, whom Obama called "Toot," died on the eve of the election. Her absentee ballot (obviously for Obama) was cast before her death and was still counted as an official vote for her grandson.

Though, I think screwtape joined in by throwing feces at me; I don't know if they were his, or what, but, they did smell kind of rank, and reminded me of the time I streaked a zoo. Which wasn't pleasant since all the animals were laughing and pointing, as well.I'd do it again but I recently hurt my left knee, and I just don't think I could streak without falling. And, then you have everyone pointing and laughing, including me, at the utter stupidity of doing such a thing.True story. Would I lie?-Nam

Departure ends six-year tenure at DCCC for head coach
The contracts of Dodge City Community College football head coach Bob Majeski and all but one of his assistants were not renewed according to the coach and athletic director Casey Malek.
"It was a clean break as of 2:15 p.m. (Monday) afternoon," Majeski said in a phone interview as he was driving his car leaving the area. "They said they weren't going to renew my contract."
Malek said he had asked Friday afternoon for the resignations of Majeski and most of his assistant coaches before the final game of the season against Air Force Prep, a 55-13 loss. Malek said he hadn't received any resignation letter as of 3 p.m. Monday afternoon but Majeski was out of his office.
"As of Friday, I asked Bob to resign," Malek said. "We have not renewed the contracts and we would not be renewing the contracts of all the coaches but Rusty Morgan."
Morgan is the linebackers coach for the Conqs. Also leaving their positions at DCCC include David Snodgrass (defensive coordinator), Todd Middleton (defensive line coach), Jean Cherizol (wide receivers coach) and David Walker (offensive line coach).
Majeski's Conqs lost all nine games (including seven Jayhawk game) and scored no more than 20 points in any game in his final season. He had been coach the past six years with the Conquistadors, compiling a 7-48 overall record (7-34 in the Jayhawk Conference) and was 2011 Jayhawk Coach of the Year for getting the Conqs into the regional playoffs.
Majeski had always stressed during his time with the Conqs on getting the right attitude player at Dodge City for them to leave the program as grown-up men with character.
"I will not let metal and lights determine if we did what we were supposed to do," Majeski said. "I knew that was how I was going to be judged and was judged, by wins and losses; but I will not let that judge me on if I was a success or not.
"What we did was turn a lot of young men into men and taught them life's lessons they'll carry on with their lives. I will judge if I was successful or not by seeing those men in 20 years after they went through our program and see what they have become."

Incubator program helps non-profits grow endowments
Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money for some non-profits. But in the world of high finance, $50,000 is a drop in the bucket.
So how can non-profit organizations such as the Robert J. Shapiro Fund (established when the Warwick educator of 50 years and former superintendent retired) expect to get the kind of investment given to non-profits hundreds of times its size?
Ocean State Charities Trust (OSCT) has come up with an answer that Mayor Scott Avedisian and other members of the Board of Trustees highlighted at a recent meeting at the City Council Chambers. Representatives from non-profit agencies were invited to hear about OSCT's Endowment Incubator Program. The program enables non-profits to take funds that might be sitting in low interest accounts and gain the type of financial advice and oversight available to the big players.
The incubator program currently has six participating agencies, including the Shapiro Fund, with total assets of almost $1.2 million. The Shapiro fund itself has assets of about $45,000 and is used to help support the drama and musical comedy productions in Warwick high schools. In its five years, the fund has made $7,000 in contributions to Warwick productions. Contributions from the fund help pay expenses not covered by school budgets and would have had to be raised by students and faculty.
The Incubator fund enables participants to pool assets. Citizens Bank acts as the trustee and manages the assets, for which they are paid 1 percent of the assets. Unlike other non-profit funds designed to establish endowments for certain causes, participants in the incubator have the right to withdraw assets.
"Investments are retained for reinvestment to build endowment or for distribution in accordance with the policies of Ocean State Charities Trust," Avedisian told the gathering.
He said participants will have access to educational events, such as the seminar series sponsored by Citizens Bank that focus on planned giving, fiduciary responsibilities associated with endowment management and legacy fund-raising strategies. Ocean State Charities Trust is responsible for the overall program, marketing and enrollment of participants; and investment oversight.
Board Chairwoman Helen Marandola gave a brief history of OSCT. The trust was established in 1981 by the state with proceeds from the refunding and refinancing of housing bonds by the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation.
Marandola said that federal regulations required that proceeds be placed in charitable foundations where the interest income could be used to support agencies that minister to organizing and dealing with the health, education and welfare of families and children. Since the fund awarded its first grant in 1982 it has distributed $8.7 million. Grantees must be a public charity, incorporated in the state and be in operation for at least two consecutive years before applying. In addition to Marandola and Avedisian, other board members are Mark Russell, Jonathan Farnum and John Partridge.
While only several representatives from non profits attended the session, there was interest in the prospect of gaining greater rates of return than from certificates of deposit and building an endowment. As one non-profit representative observed, however, that can be difficult today with cuts in operating funds and declines in contributions.

Update: We've just received an update from Motorola on this one. Turns out these emails were sent in error to a small number of Xoom owners. Motorola noted that the update will come in the summer (meaning: not likely before July).
Phandroid has received a tip that Motorola has begun contacting owners of the Verizon-branded Motorola Xoom tablet, advising them of an imminent upgrade of their device to support Verizon's 4G LTE network.
As you may recall, the 4G upgrade for the Xoom requires users to physically ship their devices to Motorola, as the update requires a hardware fix. No word on what internal components need changing, though we assume if it were as easy as inserting an LTE SIM card, Motorola would have simply sent affected users a SIM with quick instructions.
Also missing from the email is any indication of how long users should expect to be separated from their trusty devices, though you can fully expect it will be at least a week.
The good news in all this is it seems the long-anticipated upgrade is starting, and you Verizon Xoom owners will start to see your tablet, uh, zoom a little more before summer hits.
Any readers out there receive the coveted email from Motorola? Have you received your package and instructions in the mail? Drop us a note in the comments below.

Would you recognize the warning signs of pediatric sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)? If not treated in minutes, SCA can result in death.
In a new policy statement to be published online on Monday, March 26, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provides guidance for pediatricians on underlying cardiac conditions that may predispose children to SCA.
Although the risk for SCA increases when children with underlying cardiac disorders participate in athletics, SCA can occur at very young ages and also when a child is at rest.
Research supports the need for a SCA registry, says the AAP. A registry would help experts gain a better understanding of the nuances of the condition.
Plus, many cardiac disorders are known to be genetic, so the evaluation of family members, even if asymptomatic, could be a critical step in the overall diagnosis of disorders predisposing to pediatric and young adult SCA.
We asked Arizona Pediatric Cardiology Consultants (APCC), members of the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, to weigh in on what parents need to know about SCA.
How common is SCA?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year 2,000 individuals less than 25 years of age will die suddenly with the majority of these having a cardiac etiology.
What causes SCA?
Pediatric sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death can occur with various types of cardiac causes, including conditions in the heart muscle (such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), unusual positioning of a coronary artery, or an electrical disturbance within the heart. (Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia).
More on genetic cardiac conditions from the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome Foundation (SADS)
How are family members evaluated, and what symptoms may be indicators that a child is pre-disposed to this?
Signs that may suggest an increased risk for SCD include fainting or seizure with exercise, excitement, or startle, significant dizziness with exertion, unusual and consistent shortness of breath or chest pain with exercise.
If a family member has died suddenly or unexpectedly at a young age, has unexplained seizure disorder, died at a young age from a heart problem, or has a history of fainting, then screening is appropriate.
How do doctors determine if a child is at risk? What tests are performed?
Evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist will include a thorough individual and family history, ECG, physical exam and perhaps an echocardiogram, an exercise stress test, and genetic testing if necessary.
Would automatic external defibrillators (AED) on playing fields and in schools help?
A great majority of these deaths relate to a life-threatening arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation. CPR and use of an AED may be life saving. AEDs are often found in airports, casinos, and government buildings.
However, there is no law in Arizona currently requiring AED within schools, recreational sports fields, or other private facilities.
Are efforts being made to increase the availability of AEDs?
The decision about whether to have an AED on location is left up to the individual organization. APCC's electrophysiologists are making an effort to educate schools, sports organizations, and families regarding the importance preparation to prevent SCD.
The role of an ECG in all sports physicals remains a debated topic within the United States. It is, however, very important to ask specific questions (use the attached screening tool) for risk factors and then refer to a pediatric cardiologist for further assessment.
What should parents or caregivers do if they believe a child might be at risk?
Once an individual is identified as having any of the conditions listed above, it is very important for first degree relatives to also be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
Sudden Cardiac Death is devastating to not only the families of those affected but to the communities in which they live. Educating families, schools, sports leagues, and primary care providers about quick and effective screening for children at risk for SCD is a first step in prevention.
Increased community awareness and the availability of AEDs in schools and sporting venues will help avert a tragedy.
Karen S. Eynon, RN, MSN, CPNP, MATS, compiled these answers with support from Mitchell Cohen, MD, Andrew Papez, MD, and Jennifer Shaffer, RN, MS, CPNP, all of Arizona Pediatric Cardiology Consultants along with information from SADS.org.
Check with your child's physician if you are concerned about risks for SCA.
More from Parent Heart Watch, a network of parents and partners dedicated to reducing the effects of SCA.

Asus drops GPS from tablet spec after issues emerge
Sleeping satellite?
Asus has dropped the word 'GPS' from its Eee Pad Transformer Prime spec sheet after early adopters of the 10in Android tablet found the gadget's satnav tech doesn't work too well.
Forum postings between Christmas and the New Year show a number of Prime owners peeved by the tablet's apparently poor ability to pick up a GPS signal. Their tablets will get a satellite lock eventually, but it takes too long to be of practical use.
During that time, Asus' Transformer Prime page had references to GPS removed, as a host of before and after screenshots posted on a variety of websites, such as Land of Droid, show.
Asus has since confirmed the issue, emailing at least one aggrieved punter to say that the Prime's "metallic unibody design… may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites".
Of course, other GPS-equipped tablets have metal backs and they don't appear to be similarly challenged, so the Prime's GPS woes may run deeper than first thought. That said, some Prime owners have reported that their devices' GPS pick-ups do work as expected.
The 10in Prime is the first tablet to use Nvidia's five-core Tegra 3 processor. ®

Jai Rodriguez Encourages HIV+ Latinx Gay and Bisexual Men To Live Positively Fearless
HIV continues to have a profound impact on the Latinx community, despite overall progress in reducing HIV diagnoses in the U.S. and treatment advances. This is why Latino actor and musician Jai Rodriguez and patient advocate Adrian Altamirano are partnering with Positively Fearless; to help the Latinx community take control of their own health.
Gay and bisexual Latinx men are one of the few groups in the U.S. for whom annual HIV diagnoses are continuing to increase, per a CDC report released earlier this year, and Latinx people living with HIV are less likely to be engaging in effective treatment. In fact, they're twice as likely to report missing a dose of their medication in the last 48 hours -- increasing the chance of treatment failure and the development of HIV medication resistance. If the current rates continue, one in four gay and bisexual Latinx men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime (significantly higher than the one in 11 rate for Caucasians).
Rodriguez, best known for hosting the Emmy-winning reality show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and patient advocate Adrian Altamirano, who works at Nashville's Street Works, are working to educate and empower Latinx gay and bisexual men to be "positively fearless" in taking control of their health and overcoming the stigma that can keep them from getting tested for HIV, or seeking treatment after receiving a
Jai Rodriguez is an actor, musician and Broadway performer, got his start playing HIV-positive character, Angel, in the acclaimed Broadway musical "RENT." Rodriguez currently stars in the recently-premiered Las Vegas rendition of "Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man," and the off-Broadway show "Buyer and Cellar." In addition to his work as an entertainer, Rodriguez actively supports the HIV and LGBTQ communities as a regular at events for AIDS Walk, AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation (R.E.A.F.) and Life Group LA.
Adrian Altamirano thought the worst was over -- but shortly after losing his mother to cancer, 22-year-old Adrian was diagnosed with HIV. Feeling lost, Adrian desperately sought after someone who could understand what he was going through and was introduced to the world of peer-navigation. During his search, he also realized a strong need for information available in his native language, Spanish.
Altamirano was inspired to become a peer navigator himself and started a career at Street Works, an AIDS service organization in his current hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, where he helps individuals living with HIV/AIDS by navigating them into care and connecting them with the specialists they need.
He is passionate about providing HIV resources, in-language information, and education to his peers and community -- particularly helping those who are afraid to seek proper treatment find the courage to take control of their health. In addition to his current role at Street Works, has also worked as an HIV tester and counselor for those who have been newly diagnosed with HIV, and is now joining efforts on the national level as a spokesman for Positively Fearless.
EDGE: Why is it important to battle the stigma around HIV to get people tested and into treatment?
Jai: The stigma around being HIV-positive is contributing to the epidemic within the Latinx community. Fear of disclosing sexual orientation or multiple partners often prevents Latinx from seeking treatment or support from friends and family. If you aren't HIV-positive, you can help by creating a supportive environment where people living with HIV are comfortable being open with their status, and by encouraging them to work with their doctor to get on and stay on treatment so that we can reduce the impact of HIV in our community.
Adrian: Because the fear of stigma around HIV plays such a strong and detrimental role in our community, it's more important than ever that we come together because we are stronger together -- we need to speak up, support each other and take charge of our health. That's why I've joined forces with Janssen's Positively Fearless campaign.
EDGE: Why do you think gay and bisexual Latinx men are less likely to be engaging in effective treatment?
Adrian: Fear of judgment, stigma or misinformation can lead many Latinx gay and bisexual men to avoid getting tested for HIV, or not seek treatment after receiving a positive diagnosis. It also can lead many people living with HIV to not take their medication as prescribed.
Jai: What many don't understand is, Latino people are twice as likely to report missing a dose of their medication in the past 48 hours -- this could be due to stigma, socioeconomic issues or fear of judgment. This is a big issue because missing doses of HIV drugs can cause HIV medication resistance.
If your body becomes resistant to a certain medication, you could have fewer treatment options to manage HIV. One of the most important things you can do to reduce your risk for resistance is to stay 100 percent adherent -- this means you need to take your medication as your doctor prescribes, at the same time every day. Positively Fearless is helping by encouraging everyone living with HIV to seek treatment, find the right fit by being open with their doctor about their ability to be adherent and staying on it.
EDGE: How can you help these men become "positively fearless" in taking control of their health?
Jai: My motivation for advocacy in the HIV space is always to honor the legacy of my aunt and cousin who died of AIDS-related issues in 1996. I also have many friends who are living with HIV, and I always strive to be a pillar of support for them. For the past 20 years, I've been passionate about supporting the HIV community in any way I can and lending my voice to movements that I believe in. The Positively Fearless campaign is specifically streamlining my passion for HIV to people within my community -- Latinx gay and bisexual men. Positively Fearless celebrates the bravery that brings people living with HIV together.
We're trying to help empower gay and bisexual Latinx men to overcome stigma they may be facing within their community, and take charge of their health when it comes to HIV. This includes getting tested and accepting a diagnosis -- and I know that's hard and takes time because I've supported many friends in this. Then sharing their status, seeking care, finding a treatment that is the right fit, and sticking to it. Another big part of how Positively Fearless is working to end the stigma is by asking those who are not living with HIV to be supportive of their friends and family by encouraging them to be open about their status and to seek and stay on treatment.
Adrian: When I was diagnosed with HIV, I remember feeling alone and unsure of where to find information on HIV treatment and care, especially in my native language, Spanish. I know how scary it can be when you're first diagnosed and how you can feel like it is over. I want people to know it is not. There is a community out there. There is support. There is medicine, and medicine that is right for you. That's why I've partnered on Positively Fearless, a campaign to educate and help empower Latinx gay and bisexual men to be "positively fearless" in taking charge of their health when it comes to HIV.
EDGE: What are some of the education efforts that have been effective?
Adrian: Positively Fearless is a movement that was created last year to educate and empower Black gay and bisexual men to take charge of their health and have meaningful conversations with their healthcare provider about HIV. This year, we expanded our efforts to reach the Latinx community, and launched www.PositivelyFearless.com to provide facts about the communities, inspiration, and stories from those living with HIV, and resources to help people understand the importance of getting on and staying on HIV treatment, and how they can work with their doctor to do so. The second part of what we're doing with this campaign is engaging with the community at Pride events and HIV advocacy conferences.
EDGE: What does the larger LGBTQ community need to do to help?
Adrian: Others in the community can help to create an environment where people can talk openly about their status and their health, and support friends, family and loved ones living with HIV by encouraging them to work with their healthcare provider to get on and stay on treatment.
Jai: I want to encourage everyone to overcome the fear of judgment they may feel about being gay, bisexual or living with HIV, as I know this can lead many people to make decisions that may put their health at risk, such as not being open with their status, avoiding getting tested, or not seeking treatment after learning of a positive diagnosis. Anyone can get involved simply by visiting positivelyfearless.com and learning more about how HIV is impacting our communities, and how they can overcome the stigma that is contributing to the fear of getting tested or seeking treatment.

When confronted by challenges throughout his career, Superbowl-winning former NFL coach Tony Dungy frequently looked to Scripture for guidance.
One of those times was when he first arrived in Indianapolis as head coach of the Colts in 2002, Dungy said, addressing a crowd of 400 in the DeSantis Family Chapel at Palm Beach Atlantic University on Thursday during the World Leaders Conference.
|Superbowl-winning former NFL coach Tony Dungy speaks in the DeSantis Family Chapel at Palm Beach Atlantic University on Thursday during the World Leaders Conference.
Dungy, whose most recent book is The Mentor Leader, said he told his players about the story in Mark 10 of the wealthy man who asked Jesus what it takes to inherit eternal life. When Jesus told the man to give up his earthly possessions and follow Him, the man left dejected.
Dungy said the story illustrated to his players that in order to become a winning team, sacrifices would become necessary. "It's not easy to make that kind of commitment," Dungy said.
He also quoted his mentor and former coach Chuck Noll, who often said that if it were easy, "we'd have 80,000 people doing it and 40,000 people watching," he said.
Dungy closed out the second and final day of the conference, which included a highly anticipated address by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Wednesday. Blair offered practical advice to conference goers in the form of seven leadership lessons he learned during his time in public office.
Other speakers at the conference were Cokie Roberts, James Blanchard, Ken Blanchard, Henry Cloud, Mark Floyd, Laurie Beth Jones, Craig Groeschel, Bill Hybels, Patrick Lencioni, Erwin McManus, Tom Mullins and Tim Sanders.
Mullins, a former PBA trustee who founded Christ Fellowship with his wife, Donna, in 1984 and wrote a book titled The Leadership Game, spoke prior to Dungy and also led a question-and-answer session with the coach immediately following Dungy's presentation.
Mullins, himself a former high school football coach, spoke about a frequently overlooked aspect of leadership, the principle of celebration.
"As leaders we create wins for our people and our teams, and then we celebrate those wins" with those teams, Mullins said.
|Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv interviews former British Prime Minister Tony Blair during the World Leaders Conferece at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Dungy explored a similar people-first theme during his message, which covered eight principles of team-building and leadership.
One of those principles is that sometimes leaders have to be strong enough to go against the grain, Dungy said, quoting Matthew 7:13, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
Another principle, he said, is that to be a good leader, it must be done the right way. He said he has seen many NFL teams that did not adhere to that, including those involved in the so-called bounty program and the scandal known as "spygate."
"It's just not worth it," Dungy said. "The easy way is not the best way."
Dungy said he saw his primary job as a coach as being there to help each player do his best, and he developed an inverted organizational structure that put the fans and the players at the top and the coaches at the bottom.
"The leader isn't the most important person," he said, adding that "often the great leaders become unnoticed."
In addition to Noll, Dungy cited his father as having a great influence on him. He said the six-word slogan that he would later place in his team's locker room came from his father: "Expectations. Execution. No excuses. No explanation."
The World Leaders Conference was presented by the World Leaders Group and included book signings by several of the authors.
PBA trustee and former news anchor Chandra Bill led a question-and-answer session on Thursday morning with Roberts, a political commentator for ABC news.
Also, a number of PBA students served as volunteers during the event, and several University music ensembles performed as part of the program.

I know a lot of us get on Mike Wallace for not laying out for the ball, not being able to catch it in traffic, and what have you. I'm the first to admit I do it from time to time.
That catch tonight though, while in good coverage, laying out catching it with one hand and trapping it between his knees while staying in bounds was a highlight for anyone to be proud of .
Update: videos of catch in following posts.
Might be the best catch we've ever seen him make?

This is a mini-review to go with our series on tunnel tents. It reviews the Vango Tempest 200 tent. Some of the illustrations are from the manufacturer's web site, used here with acknowledgement.
The Vango Tempest 200 is a straight two-pole two-man double-skin tunnel. First, the specifications.
|Vango (UK)
|Tempest 200
|Fly Fabric
|68 denier taffeta polyester, 65 gsm
|Listed Weight
|2.8 kg (6 lb 3 oz)
|Tent Weight
|2.75 kg (6 lb 1 oz)
|Pole Weight
|485 g (17.1 oz)
|Stakes, Weight
|16, 234 g (8.3 oz)
|Stuff Sacks
|102 g (3.6 oz)
This is a fairly standard slightly tapered two-pole two-man double-skin tunnel tent. It is not light, but since it has been approved for Duke of Edinburgh Award students, one suspects a major market is likely to be high school kids in the UK. It is built accordingly – but there were some little trivial funnies nonetheless. It comes with a repair kit and 16 rather massive stakes. You could comfortably leave some of those behind.
The tent is listed as having 2.5 poles, which is a bit unusual, but you can see the half-pole holding up the vestibule over the entry. This is actually a rather clever solution to several problems. First, the half pole makes extra space in the vestibule without increasing the footprint. Second, the roof from the main pole to the half pole covers a very large ventilation hole (covered with mesh of course), providing quite good ventilation while really keeping the rain out. Third, half a pole is lighter than a whole pole.
Of course, that means the tent really only has two poles for the main fly fabric, so it is not quite as storm-worthy as, say, a Macpac Olympus. One is tempted to suggest that the British are perhaps a bit more concerned with rain in their country. This idea is boosted by the fabric water pressure ratings: 5,000 mm water pressure for the fly and 6,000 m for the groundsheet. Incidentally, the fabric is a plain weave (I fully approve) with a distinctive honeycomb embossing – done with heat. The reinforcing at the corners is also done very well.
The interior of the tent has reasonable floor space for two and moderate headroom.
The rear end of the tent slopes down a bit, making the very rear less useful for sitting, but there seems to be a fair bit of floor space in the middle with adequate headroom. The sides go straight up fairly straight, and the front end is a lot wider than most. It might be possible for two people to almost sit side by side near the front end. You would certainly be able to pack a lot of gear down the sides of your mats.
You can see the vents at the rear end of the tent in the previous photo. In this photo you can see the vent in the rear end bell.
There is no cover for this exterior vent, but the hood does cover it quite well. The rear end hood is the bit of fabric thrown back in this photo: normally it comes forward and holds two storm-worthy end guys. Combined with the front vent, this tent has quite a bit of ventilation.
The tent poles go through sleeves in the fly for the centre section, clip into eyelets at the pole feet, and have a clip attachment a short distance up from the ground. I prefer a full sleeve, but this arrangement may be a lot easier for novices to handle, and it does not detract from the stability of the poles very much. The front pole is shown here with the half-pole in place; the rear pole is similar. The sleeve tension is adjusted with webbing.
The guy ropes are a very soft weave about 3.5 mm diameter.
The guy rope arrangement is a bit novel: there is a fixed loop of cord attached to the tent and an adjustable guy rope with toggle running off the middle of the loop, as shown here. The idea works fine. As delivered all the knots were some really queer thing which had me scratching my head a bit: I doubt the knots would have held in a storm. I retied all of them: a good exercise for some novice campers to go through before they leave home.
This photo shows two features of the Vango Tempest which I have not seen on any other tents except for mine.
The first is the groundsheet, which extends from the inner tent door outwards to cover the vestibule floor. It is detachable via bungee cord loops. This has several good uses. The first is that you now have somewhere to sit inside the vestibule while getting out of very wet clothing – even if the ground is rather muddy. Trust me, it is nice to have. The second benefit is that by covering the vestibule area you limit the evaporation of water off the wet ground – reducing the amount of condensation inside the tent. The third is that you now have somewhere a little more pleasant than gooey mud to prepare dinner. Ah yes – it rains a lot in the UK!
The second thing to see in this photo is the two diagonal bits of webbing. They are inner tent guys, reinforcing the main pole. There are similar guys for the rear pole. Having these here will limit sideways sway if the wind should come from the side. They are adjustable, to conform to the vagaries of the ground, but they manage to be just clear of the inner tent. I have used a similar device on a dome tent with some success.
The photo also shows how the inner tent is attached to the fly and the poles – with bungee loops and little hooks. This works fine. However, when the tent was delivered it came in two parts, and I did find it a shade complex getting the two parts mated properly. This is something you need to do just once, but before you leave home!
This tent shows its heritage and intended market. It is fairly robust, very waterproof, and not too difficult to set up. It may not be ideal for a howling blizzard on a snowy col at 4,000 m, but it is not meant for that, after all.

What natives of the Bay Area use to refer to San Francisco. All other cities have nothing on San Francisco and San Francisco is the only one that earns the title of "The City" (check the Warriors jerseys). Also can be refered to as the sco, 415 or Frisco, but only by natives. When people other than Natives call San Francisco by these names its a sign of disrespect, as they obviously really don't know what they're talking about by the context it tends to be used in.
1. "I'm from the sco beezies, you better respect that!"
2. Phone convo. better two kids that live in Marin:
Kid 1: "Let's hang out in the city this weekend."
Kid 2: "Sounds good, it's not like we'll have an issue paying the fucking $5 bridge toll to get there."

local term for San Francisco, only used by people who live in the Bay Area.
all I did over the weekend was stay in The City and eat Dim Sum
by Mr Wall January 05, 2006
Nickname for San Francisco. Sometimes also called "San Fran", but the local residents hate it when someone refers to it as "'Frisco". A wonderful city for all, with steep hilly streets, among other things.
Jeremy: Let's check out The City and see Lombard Street. It's the Crookedest Street in the World. After that we can get on a ferry and visit Alcatraz. Then we can have a pizza.
Sam: Alright! Let's go!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is the hidden jewel of the Upper Midwest, and an urban thug's paradise.
After thugging around the North Shore, we hit up The City for some quality bbq at J.T. Bones.
by Nelly of Greendale February 20, 2004
An urban area with entertainment and a downtown. Different place depending on where youl ive, if you live in NY or NJ the city means Manhttan, if you live in the Bay Area it means San Fran or Oakland. If you live in Illinois you'd prolly call Chicago the city.

More Weird and Unique Gardening Tips
We shared some fun and unusual garden tips last year, but there's no end to the unique things you can do to make your garden grow. Here are some more tried-and-true gardening tips and ideas you can use this year:
Noelle from AZ Plant Lady says don't throw away coffee cups from your favorite coffee place. Save them to start seedlings indoors and then transplant in the garden later.
After boiling food like vegetables, eggs and noodles, set the cooking water aside and use it to water your plants once it cools down. Not only are you saving water, but that water has extra nutrients your plants can use.
You can use cola as insecticide by placing a small cup near pests' favorite plants. They'll be lured to the sugary beverage and killed by the acid.
Plant your flowers and other aesthetic plants in odd numbers. They'll look fuller and more pleasing to the eye.
Amy from Get Busy Gardening! says melt snow during the winter and use it to water your houseplants. Rain water is the best type of water to use for houseplants, and melted snow has the same benefits. Just be sure it's room temperature before watering, as freezing water can shock them.
Grow sweeter cucumbers by planting them near sunflowers.
Bury empty tubes or pipes in your garden and plant invasive species (like mint) in the tube. The roots will have to grow down instead of out and the plant will stay contained.
Grow melons vertically to keep them from sprawling all over your yard. Once the melons start growing, support them by tying old cloths or T-shirts around them.
Stop dirt from getting under your nails by running them down a bar of soap before you head out to the garden. The soap will be stuck under your nails, leaving no room for dirt ' but it washes right out with water.
Helen from Gardening With Confidence says French hydrangeas are blue because of the acid in the soil. If you have pink French hydrangeas, but want them blue, you can naturally lower the soil's pH by adding coffee grounds, eggshells, ground-up orange or grapefruit peels around the plant. Over time, you will reduce the soil's pH, turning your pink French hydrangeas blue.

Attorney General Eric Holder has just sent a truly incredible letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. In it, he acknowledges that the U.S. has killed four of its own citizens in drone strikes. Casual news consumers may find that confusing. Hasn't there already been an extremely public debate about the killing of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman? Indeed, everyone knows that, despite the 5th Amendment, the Obama Administration believes it can target and kill American citizens without due process, and that it has done so.
But that hasn't stopped Team Obama from keeping what everyone knows officially classified, permitting them to broach the subject when convenient and to dodge it when inconvenient. Wednesday's revelation, first reported by the indispensable Charlie Savage of the New York Times, is therefore a good thing. Team Obama has dispensed with the absurd pretense that targeting Americans is a secret, and admitted that they've killed a total of 4 Americans with drones.
It's actually three other features of the letter that are incredible. Read about them at TheAtlantic.com.

Emmy Rossum has a secret crush on Prince Harry and dreams of dating the bad-boy British royal.
The Phantom of the Opera star, who last month (Jan13) released her second album - a compilation of classic standards titled Sentimental Journey - has been keen on the party-loving prince since she was a child.
However, Rossum doesn't see the third-in-line to the British throne as potential marriage material - she just wants a steamy fling with him.
Rossum tells British magazine Live, "I've always had a bit of a thing for Prince Harry. Growing up I used to pretend I was married to him in an alternate universe. Like any other seven year old I had a fairy tale notion of growing up and marrying a prince.
"I still think he's pretty cute. He's also very boisterous, which is a good thing in a man. I'm not saying I want to marry him, but he's more than welcome to invite me out on a date. I know in my heart that this is one of those impossible never-to-be realised crushes. But I've always been a hopeless romantic."
Prince Harry is not the only British star to have made an impression on 26-year-old Rossum - she also has a soft spot for fiery chef Gordon Ramsay but admits he is too old to date.
She adds, "I find him fascinating to watch on television. He's wonderfully entertaining... I think he's great but I don't feel the way about him that I feel about Prince Harry, who is a little more age-appropriate."

Passport America Testimonial:
"We called to make a weeks reservation at a RV park, & the clerk quoted me the Passport America price by mistake! When I saw what the savings were for this stay alone, (a savings of over $100), we promptly looked Passport America up on the web & joined!"Jay & Christine Roth
Passport America Testimonial:
To all the RVers who, despite the high cost of gasoline, are "still hitting the road," we want to say, "We are STILL proud Lifetime Members of Passport America." We have our Passport America logo on the side of our motor home. When people ask what it's for, we tell them about Passport America, and they are very happy that there is a company that really cares about RVers.
We will be staying at Passport America parks on our way west this summer for our family reunion. Don't let the big oil companies make you stay at home. Drive slower, stay at Passport America campgrounds, and Happy Camping!Harry & Jo Theirl

Cover art by Kiekebiche
OPV006 : Kings of Belgium / Très Fort
Sixth release in the P.V. Presents Series and second album for Kings Of Belgium, Très Fort is a mixute of atomic jazz-punk-experimental-fusion-trash core music.
The band is again a trio : Pierre Vervloesem ( X-legged Sally, Deus, Flat Earth Society, A Group…) is on bass, guitars and sounds, while Gil Mortio ( Attica, Bruno Vansina…) is on guitars. This time drummer is the formidable virtuoso Swedish Morgan Ägren, from former Mats Morgan Band. He has been a drummer since age four and a Grammy winning musician on both sides of the Atlantic.At age seven he joined forces with ten year old blind keyboardist Mats Öberg in 1981. In 1988, still around their late teens, Morgan and Mats got invited to play with Frank Zappa for a few different projects in the US - just before Zappa passed away.
Morgan has climbed readers polls in various drum- magazines recently. In 2010 he was voted No.1 in Modern Drummers readers poll in the category "fusion".
Morgan has also played with Fleshquartet, Steve Vai, Fredrik Thordendal (of Meshuggah) Spoonman, Glenn Huges, Tony Iommi, Terry Bozzio, Mike Keneally, Denny Walley, Kaipa, Bolon Bata, Dweezil Zappa etc.
The project is based on a free spirited musical approach.
There is no compositions as such, the music is therefore totally spontaneous
which makes it heavy, light, rageous...
depending on the moods explored by the band.
You can compare their way of working with the sound & method of
Meshuggah, John Zorn, Mike Patton, the Residents and Frank Zappa.
The Album was recorded in Morgan's studio Annanstand near Stockholm on the 16th and 17th of April 2011, then mixed and mastered by Pierre Vervloesem in Brussels.
They intend to play live a lot in 2012 !
Every live performance will be unique and the result will be a new and innovative experience every time...

It's not often that I receive a message from someone that chills me to the bone. But what you are about to read does precisely that. Sadly, my correspondent chooses to remain anonymous, so I can't address him directly or personally. But, with a little luck, this very unhappy person will return to my site and find the heartfelt response I've prepared for him. If not, I fear the worst will happen.
I was raised to believe that fornication would ruin my future marriage, and I believed it. But as time went on, and had trouble attracting women since I had social phobia, I noticed that no one else was waiting until marriage. I felt angry, as if I had been betrayed and left behind. As I get older, the possibility of finding a "pure" woman my age dwindles (I'm almost 30 now). I'm still a virgin myself, and fear having sex with a woman my age because she might judge my inexperience and clumsiness. I also fear that she would compare me with other men. I'm now an atheist, and I know these doctrines are wrong, but I can't stop feeling jealous and depressed knowing that women my age have all loved other men by now, and I'll probably never be anyone's first. Is there treatment for this? Or even a name for this condition?
My friend, thank you for reaching out to me. I only wish you had done so in a way that I could communicate directly and personally to you. I will do my level best to be as kind as I can while I address your many-layered problem. But if I wind up being sharp with you, it's only because I believe the situation demands that I not soft-pedal my advice to you. So here goes.
You, sir, are in critical condition! Yes, there is a treatment for what you have and yes, there's also the name for what you have. You suffer from acute misogyny. And my treatment recommendations are as follows.
You need to be in the care of a skilled professional, one who understands both your religious background and your current sexual malaise. I could be that person for you, but I won't take on that responsibility through an anonymous exchange like what we're doing here. Be a man, stand up, identify yourself, and own your shit. This will be your first step toward healing the rift you have between what you desire and what makes you angry and ashamed.
I can't help but make the comparison between your message to me and those chilling videos made by the UC Santa Barbara shooter before he went on his rampage some weeks ago. Like you, he was motivated by his intense misogyny and his sense of entitlement to sex. And it scares the bejesus out of me that I have you within reach, all lustful and enraged, yet I am unable to help you personally.
I want to first address your religious upbringing. And I think I'm qualified to do this because I was a Catholic priest for 20 years, many years ago. As you now can see for yourself you were duped. The fundamentalism you were fed as a youngster has made you into a bit of a monster. It has made you sick with rage and lust and it has also made you as vengeful as the God of the Hebrew Testament. Surely you can see that nothing good can come from this volatile combination.
I call your condition misogyny because your lust and rage is directed toward woman. Somehow you got it in your head that you are entitled to some pussy and that pussy had better be virginal pussy to boot. And if you don't get what you think is rightfully yours, because this is the birthright of all men, there is gonna be hell to pay.
Listen up, buckaroo; you are not entitled to anything sexual, no one is. You are particularly not entitled to pussy. And whoever told you that you are or suggested that you have something coming to you simply because you're swinging some pipe between your legs is as big a fool as you are for believing that shit. I'm also pretty certain that you got this message right along with your religious indoctrination, which makes it all the more insidious. The curious thing is, I can't tell if your fundamentalism is Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. And, in the end, I don't suppose it make much difference. But I am willing to wager every cent I have that it is one of those three. I say that because monotheistic fundamentalism is at its core, misogynistic. The acolytes of the male god of these three traditions have enshrined the male privilege and women have been paying the price for that bullshit for millennia. It has got to stop!
When men, like you, get it in your head that one woman in particular, or all women in general, have deprived you of what is rightly yours, you know someone is gonna get hurt and hurt badly. Curiously, you don't take yourself to task for your social phobia and awkwardness even though you acknowledge that these are precisely the things that get in the way of you making yourself attractive to the women you desire. Rather, it is somehow the fault of women because they won't look beyond your loutishness to see the sweet guy beneath your caustic exterior. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a man.
I'm sure glad you identified how fear and bitterness has crippled you. You are afraid that women will judge your inexperience and clumsiness and compare you with their other lovers. Welcome to the real world, my friend. We all make judgments; we all make comparisons. Just look at all the judgments you are making about women. Shame on you for trying to point out the speck in someone else's eye while you have a plank in your own.
Instead of humbling yourself and asking for the help you need to overcome your social and sexual awkwardness, you project hate and show absolutely no compassion toward the very women who are in the ideal position to help you. What does that say about you?
This lethal concoction of hate, shame, fear, and a sense of sexual inadequacy is what perpetuate the rape culture that plagues our society. You sir, are the problem! And until you acknowledge the fact that you are the agent of your own frustration, and get your shit together, all the women around you should be afraid for their virtue as well as their life.
Another telltale sign of this facacta religious fundamentalism that has poisoned your psyche is your preoccupation with the virginity of your perspective mate. So you want someone "pure," a woman unsullied by another man, huh? Well then here's a tip. That kind of purity, if there is indeed such at thing, is reserved for someone equally pure; and I don't mean sexually inexperienced. You should be pure of heart. And there is nothing pure about your heart. Your rage, shame, and lust defile you and make you base. You are, to use religious language, unclean.
It never ceases to amaze me that people, like you, think sex sullies a person. And yet you crave the very sex that will make you and your prospective partner impure. Believe me when I tell you this; even if you enter a marriage with a virgin, as a virgin, just like religious fundamentalists prescribe, you will come away from your first sexual encounter feeling as defiled as you know your wife will be. That's because your sexuality is based in shame. Your vocabulary betrays you. No wonder even religious fundamentalist women keep their distance from you. You are like a suicide bomber's vest, ready to detonate.
One more thing, you are definitely not an atheist. And no amount of you saying that you are will make it so. What you are is a disgruntled religious fundamentalist. I mean I completely understand why you are livid. You've been consistently lied to about sex and you never learned anything about love. Besides atheists don't need any more angry doctrinaire lugheads, like you. They have plenty of those already. In fact, it's often difficult to tell religious fundamentalists apart from atheistic fundamentalists these days. Everyone is so fuckin' pissed off all the time.
Here's my prescription for getting better. Start working with someone who will help you shed the terrors of your religious upbringing and who will show you the way to embrace a more caring and loving God? I think we both know that you will always be a theist; luckily you get to decide what kind of god will be your god.
Start working with someone who will help you heal the rift you have between what you desire and what makes you angry and ashamed. This will make you a happier person, a better person too. You will, in time, learn that sexuality is gift, not a weapon and certainly not an entitlement. You might even learn how to approach women as your equal, to honor them, not denigrate them. And if you give this therapy the time and effort it deserves you will no longer be jealous and depressed. And hell, you might even get laid.
Good luck

Quik Trip 1 ReviewsCheap Gas
Many places to get gas around the ATL, but I have found QuickTrip to be among the cheapest. This location is no exception. It is also one of the few gas stations where you can still find free air to fill your tires. Nice bonus. The store is fine - all your essentials - $1 hotdogs, coffee, lotto tickets, etc. And the staff is friendly.
Quiktrip Corporation 3 ReviewsThe real star of the road
Store is always clean and and manager and associates are always friendly and eager to help. My favorite stop at the beginning or end of a trip.
Exxon Corp 3 ReviewsFriendly Staff
I was on my way home and I needed to find a place to repair a tire that had a nail in it which was causing a slow leak. I was stuck in a bit of traffic at a light next to a gas station and I noticed they had bays and could possible be able to help me. I was greeted immediately upon pulling up. I inquired about the cost of the repair. Greg joked it would be about $642.00 then he informed me that the repair would be free. Greg had the nail out of my tire in no time and I never even had to leave the car. The staff were all very friendly and I was so glad I pulled in and I had a great experience. I asked about oil changes and he let me know that Wednesday is the best day for ladies as they have...
Shell Food Mart 1 ReviewsSafe
I have a couple of gas stations around my house, but I really like going to this one. It doesn't seem shady or anything, it is well lit and always busy so feel kinda safe no matter what time of day or night it is. The cool thing about this one is that it has music playing outside while you are at the pump so it kinda passes the time when filling up gas. Also, the always have atleast two people on staff so the service is fast and the store is very clean.
